Would stay again!
Overall this worked well for our large group and we had a wonderful time! A few things we didn’t expect: dog poop on the grounds around the house which we cleaned up on arrival, lower level shower regularly turned ice cold during use, the sleeper sofa on the lower level was broken and “not for guest use” but the house is beautiful and clean and well-stocked. Maintenance was very responsive with communication. We loved the river and the hot tub and the bunk room and of course the kids wanted to live there forever!

great space for multi-family
this was an excellent space for us, 3 families coming together - floor plan perfect (everybody had their own floor), huge table for dinners & family game nights, river is amazing with lots of amenities (kayaks, tubes, life jackets) - kids spent hours down on the river. Kitchen was well stocked and location'/view was amazing. great family vacation.
